Advanced large language models like ChatGPT have gained considerable attention recently, including among students. However, while the debate on ChatGPT in academia is making waves, more understanding is needed among lecturers and teachers on how students use and perceive ChatGPT. To address this gap, we analyzed the content on ChatGPT available on TikTok in February 2023. TikTok is a rapidly growing social media platform popular among individuals under 30. Specifically, we analyzed the content of the 100 most popular videos in English tagged with #chatgpt, which collectively garnered over 250 million views. Most of the videos we studied promoted the use of ChatGPT for tasks like writing essays or code. In addition, many videos discussed AI detectors, with a focus on how other tools can help to transform ChatGPT output to fool these detectors. This also mirrors the discussion among educators on how to treat ChatGPT as lecturers and teachers in teaching and grading. What is, however, missing from the analyzed clips on TikTok are videos that discuss ChatGPT producing content that is nonsensical or unfaithful to the training data.

翻译：近期，ChatGPT等先进大语言模型备受关注，在学生群体中亦不例外。然而，尽管关于ChatGPT在学术界的讨论风起云涌，教师和讲师们对学生如何使用及看待ChatGPT仍缺乏深入理解。为填补这一空白，我们分析了2023年2月TikTok上关于ChatGPT的内容。TikTok作为一款快速成长的社交媒体平台，在30岁以下人群中尤为流行。具体而言，我们研究了标记为#chatgpt的100个最热门英语视频内容，这些视频总观看量超过2.5亿次。所分析的视频多推崇使用ChatGPT完成诸如撰写论文或编写代码等任务。此外，大量视频探讨了AI检测器，重点介绍如何借助其他工具改造ChatGPT输出以规避检测。这恰恰呼应了教育工作者在教学中关于如何定位ChatGPT角色（作为讲师或教师进行教学与评分）的讨论。然而，TikTok分析片段中明显缺失的是讨论ChatGPT生成无意义内容或存在训练数据不忠实问题的视频。
